Only knew Kick out the jams and that was through covers, so had high hopes for this album. Turns out that those hopes were misplaced. Far more straight down the middle rock than i expected and just fails to provide anything interesting

Pure 90s nostalgia. It perfectly bridges the gap between grunge and more mainstream US alternative rock scene of this period.

I can also hear the influence they had on my favourite band the Wildhearts, especially in Helpless.
Overall a great trip down memory lane

I expected an album of Nick Cave’s vocals would be my sticking point with this album, but i think it’s actually the music. The backing tracks are either so ethereal i drift off and stop paying attention to the beautiful lyrics or its jarring (synths) and actively annoy me.
Leviathan was reminiscent of queue of wicker man at Alton Towers so st least retained some intrrest.

Ghosteen the song lost me when synths start ed to sound like refugee from a jean-michel jarre song. Although my dislike for those did mean more of the lyrics in the second half made it into through my ambivalence.

Overall the album was just background music

Sorry Nick it’s me not you.

Really enjoyed the first volume, but with a second volume as well it just felt overly long. Was surprised how many songs i recognised, but obviously some of this was due to them being standards and in the case of what you hot cooking, just brought flashbacks to the horrible Findus advert from the 80s

I was surprised thst i only knew two tracks on this album, but having now listened to it less so. It’s an overblown overlong album and listening to it was a real slog. I fear like Shakespeare this is something you need to see performed to fully appreciate but i wont be wasting anymore time on this

A good album, but suffers from some unnecessarily long tracks

Would have been 4/5 for speakerboxx alone but despite aa on sprawling album the Love Below holds it back (despite som standout moments). Sounds like what it is two separate albums presented ad one to maintain the Outkast brand going a little longer. Ideally would have been 3.5/5 but just not quite strong enough for a 4 as a cohesive album.

A truly wonderful album. Not my favourite Beatle but possibly my favourite Beatle solo album

So smooth it’s just dull

Would be better as an instrumental album. Hype man vocals are just annoying

One star for Maggie May and a collection of sub standard b-sides

Sounds like every rubbish sc-fi soundtrack from the 80s

Good slbum for a sunny spring morning. I’ve never listened to a Hendrix studio album before and enjoyed the Experience

There is a time and a place for good Jazz, unfortunately none of which apply to this album

So many singles it’s effectively like listening to a greatest hits album.

Every cliche about prog on one album

If I didn’t know this was Bowie i’d have assumed it was a monumentally bad parody album. God knows how Heroes came out of the same session as the rest of this album

Just a bit dull

Eddie Vedder has one of the finest voices in rock music. This is a standard setter for everything that came after. Despite been a massive step away from Nevermind they complement one another brilliantly
